3 Module Overview PROWAG and Curb Ramp Basics Standard Plan Sheets Curb Ramp Types ADA Pay Items 3

4 Curb Ramp/PROWAG Basics PROWAG requirements are based on slopes, so curb ramps cannot simply meet a certain length to be compliant. A 6 inch high curb does not necessarily mean that a ramp should be 6 foot long; it depends on whether the area behind the ramp slopes up, down or is flat from the top of curb. 4

5 Curb Ramp/PROWAG Basics Minimum 4 foot wide Pedestrian Access Route (PAR) with a maximum cross slope of 2% is required. The PAR must be continuous and unobstructed. The PAR shall connect accessible elements, spaces and facilities. 5

6 Curb Ramp/PROWAG Basics If longitudinal slope exceeds 5 percent, or there is a change in direction, landings must be provided on any pedestrian facility. Maximum ramp slope is 8.3 percent. Maximum length of initial ramp is 15 feet. Slopes and dimensions are absolute. PROWAG allows no tolerances for exceeding these maximums. 6

7 Standard Plate 7036G Pedestrian Curb Ramp - Discontinued 4 ft. by 4 ft. minimum landing with maximum 2% cross slope in all directions REQUIRED Ramp lengths depend on grades, not dimensions Served as the foundation for the Curb Ramp Standard Plans 7

8 Standard Plans 8

9 Standard Plans New in 2013: Ramp slope ranges 9

10 Standard Plans 10

11 Standard Plans When constructing directional ramps, the triangular concrete piece shall be poured integral with the curb and gutter (Directional Curb). 11

12 Standard Plans 12

13 Curb and Gutter Details Always maintain flow line and use modified Pedestrian Access Route curb and gutter sections. Perpendicular and parallel ramps can have a maximum 5% gutter slope because the pedestrian s path of travel is perpendicular to the gutter flow line. 13

14 Curb and Gutter Details Curb ramp types where the pedestrian s travel is not perpendicular to the gutter flow line (i.e. directional, depressed corners and fan ramps) shall have a flattened gutter slope of 2% to 3%. 14

15 Standard Plans 15

16 Side Treatments When adjacent to pavement, flares shall be constructed at 8-10% max slope. When adjacent to turf, 1:6 graded flare is generally preferred. 16

17 Side Treatments When adjacent to turf, a 2-3 concrete flare may be used. 17

18 Side Treatments Approach nose detail for downstream side of traffic. 18

19 Detectable Edge at quadrant All constructed curbs must have continuous detectable edge for the visually impaired. 19

20 Detectable edge at quadrant Curb transitions are considered a detectable edge when the taper starts within 3 of the edge of truncated domes. 0 0 CURB TAPER MINIMUM CURB HEIGHT / 4 PREFERRED 20

21 Standard Plan Sheets 21

22 Vertical Face Curb V-curb adjacent to building 22

23 V-Curb V-curb adjacent to landscape and outside sidewalk limits (preferred) 23

24 V-Curb V-curb adjacent to landscape and inside sidewalk limits 24

25 Curb Ramp Types Perpendicular ramp Parallel ramp One-way directional ramp Combined directional ramp Depressed corner Tiered perpendicular ramp Fan ramp Diagonal ramp (not recommended) 25

26 Perpendicular Ramp is perpendicular to the curb line. Grade break occurs at the top of the ramp and the flow line. 26

27 Parallel Ramp is parallel to the curb line. Landing occurs at the bottom of the ramp. Landing 27

28 One Way Directional LESS THAN 5% RAMP SLOPE, LANDING NOT REQUIRED 28

29 Combined Directional 29

30 Depressed Corner Landing 30

31 Tiered Perpendicular Used where the initial curb ramp cannot make up the elevation difference, so a secondary ramp is needed 31

32 Fan Landing 32

33 Standard Plan Sheets New in 2013: Reinforcement Details 33

34 Diagonal Ramp Should only be used after all other curb ramp types have been evaluated and deemed impractical 34

35 Diagonal Ramp Least Preferred 35
